Options pointer is being moved before calling kfree() which seems
to cause problems.  This uses a separate pointer to track and free

M. Mohan Kumar 7a4439c406 9p: Include fsync support for 9p client
Implement the fsync in the client side by marking stat field values to 'don't touch' so that server may 
interpret it as a request to guarantee that the contents of the associated file are committed to stable 
storage before the Rwstat message is returned.

Without this patch, calling fsync on a 9p file results in "Invalid argument" error. Please check the attached 
C program.

David Howells 201a15428b FS-Cache: Handle pages pending storage that get evicted under OOM conditions
Handle netfs pages that the vmscan algorithm wants to evict from the pagecache
under OOM conditions, but that are waiting for write to the cache.  Under these
conditions, vmscan calls the releasepage() function of the netfs, asking if a
page can be discarded.

The problem is typified by the following trace of a stuck process:

In the above backtrace, the following is happening:

 (1) A page storage operation is being executed by a slow-work thread
     (fscache_write_op()).

 (2) FS-Cache farms the operation out to the cache to perform
     (cachefiles_write_page()).

 (3) CacheFiles is then calling Ext3 to perform the actual write, using Ext3's
     standard write (do_sync_write()) under KERNEL_DS directly from the netfs
     page.

 (4) However, for Ext3 to perform the write, it must allocate some memory, in
     particular, it must allocate at least one page cache page into which it
     can copy the data from the netfs page.

 (5) Under OOM conditions, the memory allocator can't immediately come up with
     a page, so it uses vmscan to find something to discard
     (try_to_free_pages()).

 (6) vmscan finds a clean netfs page it might be able to discard (possibly the
     one it's trying to write out).

 (7) The netfs is called to throw the page away (nfs_release_page()) - but it's
     called with __GFP_WAIT, so the netfs decides to wait for the store to
     complete (__fscache_wait_on_page_write()).

 (8) This blocks a slow-work processing thread - possibly against itself.

The system ends up stuck because it can't write out any netfs pages to the
cache without allocating more memory.

To avoid this, we make FS-Cache cancel some writes that aren't in the middle of
actually being performed.  This means that some data won't make it into the
cache this time.  To support this, a new FS-Cache function is added
fscache_maybe_release_page() that replaces what the netfs releasepage()
functions used to do with respect to the cache.

The decisions fscache_maybe_release_page() makes are counted and displayed
through /proc/fs/fscache/stats on a line labelled "VmScan".  There are four
counters provided: "nos=N" - pages that weren't pending storage; "gon=N" -
pages that were pending storage when we first looked, but weren't by the time
we got the object lock; "bsy=N" - pages that we ignored as they were actively
being written when we looked; and "can=N" - pages that we cancelled the storage
of.

What I'd really like to do is alter the behaviour of the cancellation
heuristics, depending on how necessary it is to expel pages.  If there are
plenty of other pages that aren't waiting to be written to the cache that
could be ejected first, then it would be nice to hold up on immediate
cancellation of cache writes - but I don't see a way of doing that.

Eric Van Hensbergen 3e2796a90c 9p: fix readdir corner cases
The patch below also addresses a couple of other corner cases in readdir
seen with a large (e.g. 64k) msize.  I'm not sure what people think of
my co-opting of fid->aux here.  I'd be happy to rework if there's a better
way.

When the size of the user supplied buffer passed to readdir is smaller
than the data returned in one go by the 9P read request, v9fs_dir_readdir()
currently discards extra data so that, on the next call, a 9P read
request will be issued with offset < previous offset + bytes returned,
which voilates the constraint described in paragraph 3 of read(5) description.
This patch preseves the leftover data in fid->aux for use in the next call.

Martin Stava 2511cd0b3b 9p: fix readlink
I do not know if you've looked on the patch, but unfortunately it is
incorrect. A suggested better version is in this email (the old
version didn't work in case the user provided buffer was not long
enough - it incorrectly appended null byte on a position of last char,
and thus broke the contract of the readlink method). However, I'm
still not sure this is 100% correct thing to do, I think readlink is
supposed to return buffer without last null byte in all cases, but we
do return last null byte (even the old version).. on the other hand it
is likely unspecified what is in the remaining part of the buffer, so
null character may be fine there ;):

Abhishek Kulkarni 60e78d2c99 9p: Add fscache support to 9p
This patch adds a persistent, read-only caching facility for
9p clients using the FS-Cache caching backend.

When the fscache facility is enabled, each inode is associated
with a corresponding vcookie which is an index into the FS-Cache
indexing tree. The FS-Cache indexing tree is indexed at 3 levels:
- session object associated with each mount.
- inode/vcookie
- actual data (pages)

A cache tag is chosen randomly for each session. These tags can
be read off /sys/fs/9p/caches and can be passed as a mount-time
parameter to re-attach to the specified caching session.

Sukadev Bhattiprolu a3ec947c85 vfs: simple_set_mnt() should return void
simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0.
Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if
it were to _ever_ fail.  For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev()
should:

        up_write(sb->s_unmount);
        deactivate_super(sb);

if simple_set_mnt() fails.

Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not
return anything.

then uses v9fs_get_inode() to initialise a new inode, then finally uses 
v9fs_stat2inode(), which would determine whether the inode is a block or 
character device. However, at that point init_special_inode() had already 
decided to use the block device functions, so even if the inode's mode is 
turned to a character device, the block functions are still used to operate 
on them. The attached patch simply calls init_special_inode() again for devices 
after parsing device node data in v9fs_stat2inode() so that the proper functions 
are used.

Eric Van Hensbergen 02da398b95 9p: eliminate depricated conv functions
Remove depricated conv functions which have been replaced with new 
protocol routines.

This patch also reworks the one instance of the file-system code which
directly calls conversion routines (to accomplish unpacking dirreads).

Eric Van Hensbergen 06b55b464e 9p: move dirread to fs layer
Currently reading a directory is implemented in the client code.
This function is not actually a wire operation, but a meta operation 
which calls read operations and processes the results.

This patch moves this functionality to the fs layer and calls component
wire operations instead of constructing their packets.  This provides a 
cleaner separation and will help when we reorganize the client functions
and protocol processing methods.

Eric Van Hensbergen dfb0ec2e13 9p: adjust 9p vfs write operation
Currently, the 9p net wire operation ensures that all data is sent by sending
multiple packets if the data requested is larger than the msize.  This is
better handled in the vfs code so that we can simplify wire operations to 
being concerned with only putting data onto and taking data off of the wire.

Eric Van Hensbergen fbedadc16e 9p: move readn meta-function from client to fs layer
There are a couple of methods in the client code which aren't actually
wire operations.  To keep things organized cleaner, these operations are
being moved to the fs layer.

This patch moves the readn meta-function (which executes multiple wire
reads until a buffer is full) to the fs layer.

Eric Van Hensbergen 0fc9655ec6 9p: consolidate read/write functions
Currently there are two separate versions of read and write.  One for
dealing with user buffers and the other for dealing with kernel buffers.
There is a tremendous amount of code duplication in the otherwise
identical versions of these functions.  This patch adds an additional
user buffer parameter to read and write and conditionalizes handling of
the buffer on whether the kernel buffer or the user buffer is populated.

Eric Van Hensbergen 8b81ef589a 9p: consolidate transport structure
Right now there is a transport module structure which provides per-transport
type functions and data and a transport structure which contains per-instance
public data as well as function pointers to instance specific functions.

This patch moves public transport visible instance data to the client
structure (which in some cases had duplicate data) and consolidates the
functions into the transport module structure.

Steven Whitehouse a447c09324 vfs: Use const for kernel parser table
This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser
tables constant. Rather than changing the typedef, we put the "const" in
all the various places where its required, allowing the __initconst
exception for nfsroot which was the cause of the previous trouble.

This was posted for review some time ago and I believe its been in -mm
since then.

Julien Brunel 62aa528e02 9p: use an IS_ERR test rather than a NULL test
In case of error, the function p9_client_walk returns an ERR pointer, but
never returns a NULL pointer.  So a NULL test that comes after an IS_ERR
test should be deleted.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@match_bad_null_test@
expression x, E;
statement S1,S2;

x = p9_client_walk(...)

Eric Van Hensbergen 2e4bef41a0 9p: fix O_APPEND in legacy mode
The legacy protocol's open operation doesn't handle an append operation
(it is expected that the client take care of it).  We were incorrectly
passing the extended protocol's flag through even in legacy mode.  This
was reported in bugzilla report #10689.  This patch fixes the problem
by disallowing extended protocol open modes from being passed in legacy
mode and implemented append functionality on the client side by adding
a seek after the open.

Eric Van Hensbergen 887b3ece65 9p: fix error path during early mount
There was some cleanup issues during early mount which would trigger
a kernel bug for certain types of failure.  This patch reorganizes the
cleanup to get rid of the bad behavior.

This also merges the 9pnet and 9pnet_fd modules for the purpose of
configuration and initialization.  Keeping the fd transport separate
from the core 9pnet code seemed like a good idea at the time, but in
practice has caused more harm and confusion than good.
